But we're 7 times better than you when it comes to medals per capita. It really isn't that hard to win loads of medals when you're the 3rd largest country (in population) and have the money you h

Well yes it's almost impossible to dislike our race walkers unless you are Russian or Alex Schwazer

Botswana ran out of gas, pity.

 

 

Still, if Eritrea, Uganda or Djibouti win a medal tomorrow we break the record for most NOCs with medal in a single games.

Though I like american football, it would be terrible in the Olympics. Would make the chinese table tennis medals seem unsecure ;)

There is no way the IOC approves American Football... it doesn't meet the requirements

obviously... was a joke, i dont think there is more then a few players that were born elsewhere, wouldn't even be possible since the season will start few weeks later and it's the time for camps.However i think next time we will see more NFL players trying rugby like Nate Ebner did this year (and he was so dirty at times thinking that he is in the nfl)

Even the slow races are suspicious?

It was 16 seconds slower than his PB. That's quite a bit in a 1500m!

I read this explanation very often, but it doesnt make any sense. If you can outkick a 3:26 runner like Kiprop and the most suspicious 1500 m runner ever (Makhloufi), then you are suspicious as hell. If someone would suddenly outkick Farah, then everyone should be suspicious and Kiprop is about as dominant as Farah. I think he has also been part of the NOP (just like Farah), so there really isnt much more to say about him.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

USA: Swimming + Athletics = 29 gold medals :clap: to be ahead in the medal table is necessary for all countries to raise the level in these sports. Or eliminate these two sports of the Olympic Games :d

I just learned Mirela Demireva lives and trains here in the Netherlands :d

 

The Dutch guy interviewing her gave her his headphones so she could talk to the people in the studio (including former hurdler Gregory Sedoc), that was cool :p

      Speed Skating at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026

      Draw for the 5.000m Men (tomorrow 16:00 local time) is out: https://www.olympics.com/en/milano-cortina-2026/results/ssk/st/m/5000m-------------/fnl-/000100--/race-result   After Lollobrigida’s incredible performance today, it’s honestly getting hard to bet against the Italians on home ice. That said, I still think Ghiotto’s real shot at Gold is the 10km, leaving the 5km wide open for some "untraditional" countries.   It’s truly bizarre to look at a start list and realize that a Czech teenager and a Frenchman are the heavy medal favorites, while the Dutch, who used to own this distance, can barely be called outsiders anymore. If you had told me a few years ago that this would be the state of the 5000m, I wouldn’t have believed it.   My prediction for tomorrow: Sander Eitrem - The heavy favorite after shattering the World Record this season with a historic 5:58.52. Timothy Loubineaud - A massive challenger who briefly held the World Record himself earlier this season with a 6:00.23. Metoděj Jílek - A serious gold medal contender, but I’m worried this is the first time he’ll truly feel the weight of expectations from his home country after his breakout results. Casey Dawson - A podium regular this year who is a strong contender for the top five. Ted-Jan Bloemen - The veteran master of the long distances who always finds an extra gear on the big stage. Davide Ghiotto - Facing massive home-crowd pressure in Milan to keep up with the younger generation. Chris Huizinga - Currently looks like the strongest hope for the Dutch guard. Alexander Farthofer - A rising talent who has successfully pushed his way into the top tier this season.   Riccardo Lorello - Another Italian hope looking to capitalize on the home-ice advantage. Gabriel Groß - A solid mid-pack contender who has delivered reliable results throughout the winter. Fridtjof Petzold - Has shown steady improvement and is now occasionally a fixture in the top half of the field.  Marcel Bosker - Started the season incredibly strong at the Dutch Championships, but hasn't reached that level since. Michele Malfatti - A home favorite who has been hovering just outside the lead group all season.  Bart Swings - His legendary engine remains world-class, but his main focus is on the mass start. Felix Maly - A consistent performer who provides a solid benchmark for the field.  Sigurd Henriksen - Part of the deep Norwegian squad with the potential to surprise if others slip up. Stijn van de Bunt - A massive breakout talent, but the Olympic depth makes moving up a huge challenge.  Shomu Sasaki - A promising young skater gaining valuable experience on the world stage.  Liu Hanbin - Honestly surprised to see him on the start list after that tough injury. It will be a victory just to finish.  Peder Kongshaug - Finished dead last in his only A-group appearance this season and hasn't raced a competitive 5k in months. He's a 1500m specialist who might lack the form for this distance right now.

      Langenhan looks untouchable    I thought starting last in the 2nd run might hurt him, he improved the TR instead.   The temperature should be lower tomorrow, I don't know if that may mix things up a bit.
